Omus Massa is a gas giant located in the Rybanloth System
Omus Massa
Omus Massa is a Gas Giant whose atmosphere contains various gases vital to ship weaponry and ship power generation. At 84,072m wide, the planet dwarfs all other stellar bodies in the system. It is encircled by a thin white ring which stretches from pole to pole. The Gas Giant completes one day every 14 hours and orbits Rybanloth once every 1,012 standard days.
Omus Massa is orbited by five satellites; two moons and three rocky objects. In order they are Ateius, Rubico, Cordus, Juba, and Gala. Atieus is the smallest of the five at 19km across at its widest. It is a barren rock with little mineral value. Rubico is a moon the size of Kalus at 15,994m in diameter. With a thin atmosphere, the moon supports only the most basic small life forms and has been reserved for use by the Gas Mining Companies to settle and inhabit. Cordus is a large asteroid that was once caught in the Gas Giant’s gravitational pull. At 80km wide, it has enough gravitational pull to hold a humanoid to its surface (.10g). Juba is also a large moon at 13,000m in diameter. It lacks an external atmosphere but has numerous subterranean caverns which contain noxious and useless gases. It is orbited by Gala, making it the only known moon to have an individual satellite.
Status
The planet is the site of mining efforts by Clan Taldryan. Gas is extracted from the atmosphere, refined in orbiting platforms and taken to be sold out of system through a series of cover operations to conceal the origin of the Gas. The Naval Forces reserve the use of no less than 1/8 of every shipment for their use while monetary proceeds many pay for the maintenance, upkeep, and pay for the armed services operations.
